If you think raising kids is "too expensive", you're lying to yourself.

@DaveShapi 1. "Only the government has the ability to invest long term" 2. "Oh billionaires playing dumb games"

Yay now space billionaire #1 can compete with space billionaire #2 woo

@chinitaliberal Why is he good lol

Prefiero mil veces un presidente genuino que cante y sea feliz , a aguantar políticos corruptos con falsas promesas. Abrazo.

@RichardHanania "mothers"

People who are anti-surrogacy dislike gays and pretend it's about kids. If they thought kids in non-ideal situations shouldn't be born, they'd want to stop the poor, handicapped, etc from having children. That's how you know their concerns are fake. richardhanania.com/p/anti-surroga…

@kareem_carr I don't like agreeing with you

People are going to tell you to run around like a chicken with its head cut off chasing AI. Do the opposite. Slow down. Read books. Write. Cultivate your own voice. The people who lean into AI the most are all going to sound the same, which is why you need to be different.

@enjoyer_liberty No, but it should be meritocratic somehow

I think teachers deserve to get paid less, actually.

@AveryDaye It falls apart in theory too. "doesn't work in practice" is an unearned victory for them.

It’s so easy to be a liberal. Everything sounds nice in theory… “open borders, people just want a better life” “Tax the rich so things are less expensive” “Free healthcare for all” …but it falls apart in practice. The liberal way of thinking is lazy and lacks a greater understanding of how things actually work. It’s about virtue signaling instead of working to problem solve for the best idea.

@icanvardar Cuz I am above incentives

if you’re so smart why are you still broke

@LewisCTech Comment section went full retard lol

If LLMs make everyone so much more productive... where are the new operating systems? There should be loads of them. And they should be really good too, like good enough to use daily for all your work. Come on clanker bros. Dream big. Beam us into the future.

@TheChaosWeeber Bribed into subservience. Congrats

Canada dentalcare program Canada disability benefit Canada groceries benefit All programs I benefit from that the Libs and NDP enacted. They LITERALLY are in my interest. Cons never propose programs like this.

@StefanMolyneux That reads like an assumption, not an argument.

Because Consciousness is an effect of brain matter, just as gravity is an effect of mass

@PositivFuturist The real issue is the recursive bribe: make enough people dependent on the left wing government, they will keep electing the left wing government. That group grows. Only control: the economy tanks so bad that people react, and cut stuff by necessity. It happens.

Communism failed because of bad incentive structures - democracy is failing for a similar reason. Why would you get into politics? And if you did - would you find other talented people there? The whole field is reserved for those with low talent and high self interest.

@tekbog Deep understanding is the only currency, in any field. Either it is usefull, or everything is automated anyways. llm-commander is just one discipline. Either you have deep understanding of it, and that is value. Or you are automated. Same same.

intelligence being available on tap has killed the expert - before LLMs if you wanted to do something, you would do research for that goal, while attempting to accomplish your task you would learn all kinds of related ways on getting to your goal that later on would somehow be useful across the domain, or would help you recognize patterns now, you have your agentic workflow, you set the direction and you get the output, while it is true that you can and will learn things, the accelerated process doesn't imbued you with witness, patience, hardens you - what you solve today, you just hope your workflow will work for the task of tomorrow i recognize this as the death of expertise and craft, and while anyone could argue that you can always learn the ins and outs and do things the older way, it's a disingenuous argument, the stakes to build and how to build right now are too high to ponder on why something is working or why something is made; you are the vector and you damn better get the output then it just becomes a question of, are the new workflows and harness knowledge the creation of new expertise and craft? well, yes, however if evolving as an expert in your domain is no longer a needed option to create great things, i guess that domain is solved, but what if it's not? that's what's happening with software right now, more code will be generated, until code disappears - perhaps not now, but it's coming, the discipline of software engineering was never about code the same logic, however, can be applied to any other domain being consumed by LLMs right now, even if it's just automating without real intelligence, how much is it left of that domain outside of the training data, and if we no longer become experts to extend and evolve the domain, are we stalled? maybe my premise is wrong and we will get people who keep digging and evolving anything, everything, even if they have to take pause from the insane acceleration - but this makes me wonder if there were the same questions during the industrial revolution

@thevivafrei because there are more computers. Unless the sellers can establish a monopoly (government backed) prices will drop.

I don’t understand this argument. What good does “universal high income” do when all that would happen is massive inflation for the cost of goods? Awesome, now everyone’s a millionaire. And a computer now costs $20,000 because every retailer knows that everyone’s a millionaire.

@elonmusk The loss of economic power will be complete, but yes.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@GadSaad add inflation

It's 33% for federal and Quebec is 25.75%. You then add nearly 15% sales tax (provincial and federal) + property tax, school tax, carbon tax, etc. You end up between 65-70% of your income taken. You think that it is false outrage to not want the government to take 70% of your income?

@BillboardChris poor poor kid

These men laugh as the baby cries and says “ma ma ma.” They think it’s funny because “there is no mama.” This baby was designed to never have a mother so that two men could satisfy their selfish desires. It’s impossible for a normal person to watch this without instinctual disgust.

@OmarMontoyaSua1 Completely insane to invent some mystical "intrinsic value" on labour itself. Complete invention.

El capitalismo no puede sobrevivir sin la explotación del trabajo vivo: - Si el trabajo humano se reduce a cero, el valor (en términos marxistas) desaparece. -Sin valor,no hay plusvalía (la parte del trabajo no pagada al obrero). - Sin plusvalía, la tasa de ganancia cae al 0% 1/2

@K3nB3n @Dienne_7 If you can exclude cause from a third variable, then correlation implies causation. In your example, wealth is that third variable. So if you see correlation, and can reasonably argue that there are no third-party variable causing both observed variables, then valid causation.

@Dienne_7 @Matthew20731229 Ty

I believe that the average mental capacity of an American is 15 years old. We must educate our peoples not only on reality but to teach them to have better thinking skills generally. Analysis, correlation vs causation, rationality , and empathy. 🇺🇸🐈‍⬛

@johnesharp @rwrrll @realmrsthatcher It is a pretty basic economics you know

@rwrrll @Matthew20731229 @realmrsthatcher Thankfully some people’s motivation isn’t self-interest.

Once you compress incentives from the top-down and say, "It doesn't matter how much you earn I'm going to take the lion's share away," they say, "Alright, I'm no longer going to do the lion's part." Then they stop creating the extra wealth which would benefit both themselves and society as a whole.
